Okinawa is an island of Japan that has a significant United States military presence and therefore a large expat population. If you are looking to travel abroad and work an international job, Okinawa offers multiple opportunities for work. There are plenty of military base jobs that have varying duties and involvement with actual military operations. You can also work completely independently from the military and teach English to those who only speak Japanese. You can find clerical or administrative positions or work in hospitality at a hotel or restaurant. If you speak fluent Japanese, there are many opportunities to work as a translator or interpreter.
